We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers. In other words, how can I become an effective contributor in the shortest amount of time possible?

Code reviews are generally thought of as a gate-keeping practice – you want to make sure that good design patterns are used, that the code is clean, that it is adequately tested, and that potential negative consequences are avoided.

When you create a new merge request and ask others to review your code, you are inviting them to give you feedback.

When that happens, take a step back and remember: Even if some of your code is bad, that doesn't make you a bad developer.
